Like many, I initially came here as a #Twitter refugee. But now I’m here with a sense of enthusiasm about the concept of decentralised social media that is standards-based. This article demonstrates the power of different, but interoperable, ActivityPub-based services. macstories.net/stories/making-…
Making ActivityPub Your Social Media Hub for Mastodon and Other Decentralized Services
For many people who have stepped away from Twitter, Mastodon is their first experience with a decentralized social network.John Voorhees (MacStories)
![Hi
Thanks for reading and taking the time to write. I hear a lot of things as a reporter, and the next part of my job is to verify claims and stories that people tell me. That's what we did in that article, in fact. And the facts just did not bear out that schools were allowing children who identified as cats to use litter boxes.
But I always have an open mind and would love to try and verify your story. Can you tell me how you know that children at [Redacted] are asking the administration to provide them with litter boxes to use instead of the toilet? I have to be honest, as the mother of a middle schooler, and a former kid myself, I remember very clearly how hesitant kids are to use the bathroom at school or even admit that the human body has such needs. The notion that students would poo or pee in a litter box at school seems unbelievable. Logistically, It seems very unlikely! Cats are small! Humans are not!
But as the saying goes, there are more things in heaven and earth, and I'm hoping you'll send some evidence for your claim. Thanks again for reaching out. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello, I just saw this article and wanted to let you know that it is true the schools are saying no to litter boxes, BUT kids are in fact asking for litter boxes. So this article isn't entirely correct and it's not "misinformation". It's happening in LAUSD schools. Just an fyi.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/390958 "Hi

in reply to Corbin Davenport • • •I'm waiting on approval for the Edge Addons site, but you can optionally install extensions from the Chrome Web Store in Edge. Most other Chromium browsers are the same.
Firefox is a different story because it doesn't fully support Manifest V3 extensions yet. I'll either wait for that or make a slightly-modified build just for Firefox.

Firefox version is pending approval from Mozilla. I made a quick modified build that works as a Manifest V2 extension, since FF doesn't support service workers in V3 and won't for (at least) several months.
